DCD 053 - Violin Solo, Part 2

We continue our survey (which we started last episode) of the "Violin Solo" series of recordings from Troubadisc. All four volumes feature works by 20th Century composers, some well-known, others not. Violinist Renate Eggebrecht seems equally at home with them all.

In Episode #052 we sampled selections from volume 1 and volume 4. This program we fill in the gaps, playing music from volumes 2 and 3 (and a little something from the new release as well).

With the exception of the first volume, all of these releases are Super Audio Compact Discs (SACDs), which contain an even higher level of sonic detail than regular CDs. The format is well-suited to the intimate nature of the music.
